As Convoy of Hope volunteers loaded Stephanie’s car with food, water and hygiene supplies she wiped her eyes.
“Something told me to get my family to the park five miles from our house,” says Stephanie. “I did, and it saved our lives. Our house was demolished and my neighbor was killed. We’re staying at my aunt’s house and the electricity is out, but now I know my four kids will eat. Thank you so much,” Stephanie added.
Convoy of Hope workers, aided by more than 50 volunteers, set up the point of distribution just outside Birmingham early Friday morning. 
“Not everyone has vehicles as the tornadoes have destroyed them,” says Nick Wiersma, community services director for Convoy of Hope. “And many people do not want to leave what is left of their homes to get food. Instead, they want to sift through what’s left of their homes and protect their belongings.”
 
Throughout the day, more than 25 vans and trucks loaded with food, water and supplies fanned out to help people stranded in heavily damaged neighborhoods. 
Convoy of Hope will establish a second distribution site on Saturday morning in Tuscaloosa, Ala., where many people lost their homes and thousands remain without power.
